Regarding her recognition for the 2016 Macy's iHeartRadio Rising Star competition, Lyons said, "It was so amazing. I remember being e-mailed to apply to the program, and to be selected in the Top 25 was incredible, and then to enter the second round with the Top 5, was so great. I ended up being at No. 3 which was incredible, and it shows the dedication of my fan-base. I had people that were messaging me that were voting every single day. It speaks to the power of the people that believed in me and were a part of this journey. I am so grateful for the experience and for this opportunity."
